IMHO - It would be nice if it stayed in Read only mode

Hi guys, before gossip starts, here's the reason : Recently I was getting hassled for payment of the competition from 2022 which I couldn't honour when I hit bad financial difficulty. I explained that I was really really sorry and was hoping to rectify that but currently was trying to get the forum comps going again. He flipped his lid and posted shit on the forum and then other dived in on top to blast me. So I just couldn’t be bothered anymore with trying to keep the forum running and putting out fires when adults turn into children and throw their toys out of their prams followed by having a go at me and demanding their accounts be deleted. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I'm off to concentrate on other things and definitely won't be returning to running community forums. Long live SoCoder 
-=-=- Until the next time... |

Aaah, shit.. Well, yeah, I guess that's going to leave you kinda ticked off about the whole endeavour. I do hope you can at least switch off, now. It'll probably linger and play out in your mind for the next short while (if you're like me, probably months!!) But.. You know what.. That's not on you. If people can't understand situations like you were in, then .. I honestly don't know what to say to people like that. At times like these, I typically go for a Red Dwarf marathon, or stupidly loud music or something. Just drown it out. I do hope you're ok. *hugs* -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Yes, I'm sure there are many that are sad to see it go (including me). Having a good Moderator would have helped alot too. Like the Mod that was on The Game Creators forum. He kept a level head, was fair and when needed he was also firm. He was a member on SB too. The last thing a forum needs is a Mod that throws more fuel on the fire. At Qube, maybe after you have had a break and some cooling off time, you might feel differently. If so then I vote for Virtual Nomad to get the Mod job, if he wants it.... Anyway, I hope it all works out for everyone (except the trouble makers! LOL) Cheers! |

 At Qube, maybe after you have had a break and some cooling off time, you might feel differently.  I agree with this. In fact, bring it back right now and simply share issue in general discussion as those competitions were subject of general discussion where folks voted it out, and it can be sorted out quickly..small matter really.. |

If the SB community would like to use this thread as a way to help decide on a path forward, then I'm open to that, but with a rule of ... no whining and grumbling and picking on Qube. If not for Qube, the SB community wouldn't have been there in the first place, never mind lasting as long as it has. I'm pretty sure Qube is extraordinarily proud of the community he's built up, and having to pull the switch can't have been an easy thing to do. Think about his mindset, right now, and try to consider things from both sides. If you ever want Qube to return, at the very least, give a thought about his mental health. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I was there, and now because of this I'm here. Sorry to hear that Qube, I know I never posted much over the years but I did appreciate the site existing.
